PEAGE GOSSIP IS CURB ON MARKET CHICAGO, Feb. 28.nnowal of peace poselp g&re a moderate down turn today to the grain market. Cora was bearlsbly affected alio by fine weather and by liberal receipts. On the decline, howevor, comnilselon house buying Increased and some thing of a reaction ensued. Opening quotations, 'Which ranged from 1-8 to 1-io lower with Marach not quoted and May 91.26 5-8 to $1.29 8 4, were followed by a slight rally. Oats showed more decided weakness than corn, but also reacted more decidedly. Reports that oats were in active demand at Minneapolis to go west had much to do with rallying the market from the initial depression. After opening 1-8 to 5-8o lower with May 87 l-2c to 87 7-8c. prices underwent a further sag and then ascended to above yesterday's finish. Provisions advanced ' owing to a scantiness of offerings. Decline In the hog market were ignored. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO. Feb. 26. The range of futures on the Chicago Board of Trade follows: No trading In wheat - Corn Open.

READY TO BEGIN" POLL OF CITY AND TOWNSHIP Will Collect Data for Sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
The Second National bank Is the ! first institution in Richmond . to be come a second class agency for thrift stamps and war savings certificates. Joseph H. Hill, township chairman of the thrift stamp campaign, said Tuesday that the Second National bank had made application for the purchase of $25,000 stamps and certificates in order to supply the demands of patrons and others who desire to make purchases of these securities. Probably other banks in Richmond also will qualify as secondclass agencies and it is the hope of the committee that there will be two hundred or more first-class agencies within the city. First-class agencies are expected to purchase $1,000 of stamps and certificates for sale, though they may take legs. The poljing of the city of Richmond and that part of Wayne township outside of Richmond will begin Wednesday and, according to advices from the state arid national committees, must be completed within a week. Some of the ward committees will meet Tuesday night, others Wednesday night and complete organtzations will be in the field within a day or two. The committee asks that all citizens called on at their homes give the information asked for. In reality the poll will be a census of Richmond, and the matter of selling stamps and certificates will come after the poll is in the hands of the committee. The, poll books which were distributed among the ward and precinct chairmen calls for the gathering of information as follows: Name and address of each person, indicating whether ho or she i a transient or permanent resident; in case of children under ten years, give age: indicate whether the person is able to purohase thrift stamps and in what amount; whether they are able to purchase' war certificates and in what amount.

Goldfarb said that if the people of Richmond and Wayne county wished to see their boys across to France safely, "it was up to them to do all they could in furnishing the navy with field binoculars and spy glasses." The demand for glasses has been brought about by the fact that now about 8ixty lookouts are needed on the 6hips convoying troops, whereas before only one lookout was used. Also the increase in tho number of ships will naturally increase the demand for binoculars and spy glasses.

COMRADES PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO LAD WHO DIES FAR FROM THE BATTLE FRONT
, Last rites at Camp Lewis. The boy for whom these rites are being said is one of the unsung heroes who has given his life for his flag without ever getting within gunshot of the Germans. He died at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash. The army chaplain, after eulogizing the spirit of the boy, is leading his khaki-clad comrades in a prayer. Over the casket is draped the flag the boy hoped to follow into Berlin.
Florizel Disaster Caused When Officers Use Dead Reckoning
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. 26. Graphic stories of rescues from the wrecked Red Cross liner Florizel and further details of Sunday's disaster were related today by survivors who are recovering here from the terrible hardships they endured before they were saved by small boats from the Newfoundland steamer Prospero. When Captain Martin of the Florizel reached here he was in such a state of collapse that he could make no statement. Members of the crew said the mistaken in reckoning which brought the Florizel head on to the coast twenty miles north of Cape Race when all hands thought she was well out to sea as she turned westward for Halifax, was due to running without the patent log. The heavy snow, forming an icy crust,' or what the natives term "slob" as it struck the sea, made it impossible to use the log to register the steamer's progress against the storm. The ship therefore was navigated by dead reckoning and as frequently happens in this region of shifting currents and baffling winds the calculations were off, and the Florizel went the way of -other brave ships in this "graveyard of the north Atlantic." Many of the passengers were swept to their death in less than fifteen minutes after the steamer struck the rocks. Dozens of passengers trapped below decks were drowned in their berths or at the foot , of the companionways by cascading seas, which filled the saloon. Directed by officers and crew who never for. a moment forgot the best traditions of the, sea in looking after their passengers those who escaped from the saloon sought safety on the bridge deck. Two hours later a giant wall of water thundered upon them, wrenching the structure bodily from its base and engulfing thirty men and i women. A short while later twenty persons clinging desperately to the roof of the smoking room met a" similar fate. The stout construction of the wireless bouse saved most of the- survivors. Thirty-two persons piled into the wireless room, packed so closely they could neither sit nor lie down. mi . tut . i uey were witnout rood, water or u""-c nuiuing. iney were onen gulfed by boarding seas.

graphically described by survivors. Three-year-old Betsy Munn, daughter of John S. Munn, managing director, of the line, was swept overboard before his eyes. The child's nurse
,had been drowned in her berth. Munn was swept to his death with the group on the bridge deck. Fred Butler, an architect of this city, who was going to Florida with his wife, was supporting her. against the rush of water when one comber towering above all ' the others, snatched her from his arms. He waf carried along helplessly in the torrent, bringing up in a tangle of wreckage.
